I have always considered myself a feminist but now that I have a daughter I would like to consider myself a feminist who will get in your face if you try any stupid shit.

This Texas abortion thing is not even the reason. My outrage-o-meter buried the needle when Perry tried to push that cervical cancer vaccine on every girl in the state and when they asked him why he said because they paid him to. I just couldn’t be that upset about this issue ever again. Texas has a government that preys on women. Not news.

Speaking of not news, it turns out that Perry’s sister stands to make a lot of money off this new “ambulatory surgical center” thing they built into the law. Surprise.

Abortion is the perfect thing to regulate. The demand can’t shrink, no matter how illegal you make it, so all you can do is drive the price up. There ya go; buy an abortion clinic, and then change the law so that only your abortion clinic is legal. Bam, huge profits.

Gewel and her grandmother.

Dawn in Hamshire, Texas.

Amelia attempts to eat the tie of her great-grandmother’s pastor. We took Amelia to church for the first time, at a very enthusiastic little place in Hamshire. It was actually mad fun.

Gewel about seven or eight years ago, from a picture her grandma had.

A photograph of a photograph of Gewel’s grandmother in elementary school. It was the 1930s in Dust Bowl Kansas, near a town by the name of Hutchinson.

Florida. Amelia and the ducks regard each other with interest.

Amelia over Sarasota Bay.

Sarasota Bay.

Ca d’Zan, a Venetian palace transported to Sarasota for John Ringling about a hundred years ago.

A weird little statue at the Ringling Museum. Knowing what I know about John Ringling I find this statue very interesting.

Gewel and Amelia at Big E’s. I never got this lady’s name, but she was cool.

Amelia sleeping on the floor in Sarasota.

Amelia and me.

Amelia meets her uncle Charles.

Charles and Gewel and Amelia and I go to visit Gewel’s aunt Tomara and her boyfriend Mike.

Charles and the baby like each other.

Rock star Mom.

Amelia meets her grandma.

A painting I found amusing at the Ringling Museum. I bet if you knew who those two guys on either side of the banner were this would be a very witty commentary.

Fascinating image, all the more so when you know some history of John Ringling. I really like the reflected EXIT sign, the artist should have included that.

One of Mia’s friends (I’m sorry, I forgot your name!) at Ringling. We were trying to do one of those photo trickery things but were undone when we realized wings come out the back, not the front.
